Series consists of records created and collected by Richard Apostle in the course of his aquaculture research conducted under the auspices of AquaNet: Network of Centres of Excellence in Aquaculture, which was an NSERC-funded grant of 10.9 million dollars for which Richard Apostle was a co-investigator through the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. The two projects on which he worked were “The Institutional and Social Structure of Aquaculture: A Comparative Study,” with Gene Barrett and John Phyne, and “The Social Construction of Environmental Risk and Benefits: Risk to Whom? Benefits to Whom?”, with Ralph Matthews, Susan Elliot, Brian Elliot and John Phyne.

Record types in this series include grant-related correspondence, applications, budgets and reports; research correspondence; presentations and papers in manuscript and published form; and secondary research materials.
